托福口语既要不断的练习与积累,也有一定的技巧,为了帮助考生们更加有效的备考托福,留学群托福考试栏目为大家提供“如何用细节扩展托福独立口语段落”,希望考生们能有所收获。
托福口语独立题考两道:
第一个题我们叫做描述题,要求考生描述其熟悉的一个人,一个地方,一个物体或者一件事情;
第二个题叫二选一题,要求考生从所给的两个选项里面选一个并给出支撑自己选择的理由。
两个独立题都明确表示要学生在段落里面给出足够的细节和例子来充实段子。
但大多数中国考生在回答这两个题的时候都会陷入一个问题,段落过于空泛,段子明显不充实,很多时候都是在重复一个观点一个解释,而没有让这个段落往前发展下去,导致得分偏低。
今天就跟大家说说如何用细节拓展独立口语内容。
比如我们来看一个例题:
Task 1
Talk about a popular gathering place in your town where people like to go. Describe theplace and explain why people enjoy going there. Include specific examples anddetails in your response. 要求描述一个人们爱聚集的一个地方并解释原因。
考生拿到这个题大多会选择一个shopping center,leisure center或者park这种比较适合各个年龄阶层的人去的地方作为topic,下面是某位考生的作答:
In my opinion, people in my town like to go to the central park for two reasons:

In addition,people could enjoy the beautiful views in the park and they feel relaxed. Theycan get close to nature and release pressure from work or study.
So that’swhy people in my town will go to the park.
我们来分析这个段子,开门见山给出topic—park, 用两个理由支撑—do exercise and enjoy views,但整个答案欠缺的就是细节充实的问题。比如do exercise后面,考生可以直接列出具体细节:
People like to play Tai Chi or go jogging in the morning,and the whole family may get together t...
